PHOTOS, VIDEO: Man dies on scene of "high impact" fiery crash

A PILE of black ash, debris and small car parts is all that is left at the scene of a fatal crash that took place along Calliope River Rd last night.

A 34-year-old man died at the scene of the crash at about 11pm, after his car, travelling northbound to Yarwun came off the road, rolled "several" times and burst into flames.

Emergency services were able to extinguish the blaze, but the man was pronounced dead on scene.

The horrific crash took place in front of two residencies along the Calliope River Rd.

A witness, and resident of one the houses, said she was only alarmed that "something was happening" when she heard dogs barking.

A PILE of black ash, debris and small car parts is all that is left at the scene of a fatal crash that took place along Calliope River Rd last night.

"I sleep using a breathing machine and it's pretty loud so I didn't hear anything from the crash," she said.

"But then my partner and I saw the flames, and they were pretty high.

"My partner ran down to the car (it was small, but we don't know the model), and said he couldn't hear any shouting or yelling, it was quiet --- apart from a couple of loud bangs the car was making from the fire."

Debris from the scene shows a burnt Toyota hubcap.

"I have lived on this street for 30 years and never seen anything like that happen on this road," the witness said.

"It looks like the car actually hit my driveway first then landed out the front of my neighbour's house.

"They have only been living there since Tuesday or Wednesday."

A Queensland police spokeswoman said, in relation to the accident, everything happened "spontaneously", but police are investigating whether speed was a factor.

"It's unclear whether the man died as a result of the car rolling, or the fire," she said.

"However due to the high impact crash, it is likely the man was unconscious when the car went alight.

The Forensic Crash Unit are investigating.
